Katherine To Do

• Phase cal testing (temperature stabilisation? Bad filters?)
• DBBC service - check cables, internal connections, bad boards)
  • Apparently working as of 25/7/14 after replacing Fila OUT, reseating stack & PCI7200 card & cables.
• earthing of DBBC and MK5 units using proper earth connections
• DBBC cont cal - tune for ~2-5% CONT CAL, 5-10% pulsed CAL
  • CONT CAL seems to be triggered when PULSED CAL is? Check wiring on spare board?
• Y-factor tests - get all CAL factors via DBBC.
• control room temp sensors - MoniCA * twister cable suspender * <del>fix UPS
• pedestal and maser room fan, fix/replace
• webcam clean
• Upgrade mk5-2ke. Replace module back plane * <del>Back up all PCs * <del>Maser service.
• tidy ptz wiring * <del>clean all sky cam lens
• check for rodents in genset
• generator battery charger reduce electrolyte boiling
• feed temp/press sensor
• weed control
• insect proofing of the hub
• pedestal base flange seal, recoat with paving paint

• RF/IF testing
  • Install power meter plotting software on pcfs (Jim)
  • Check all four signals are getting through and bandpasses look reasonable
    • any signs of RFI?
    • Are cable compensators doing a reasonable job?
  • look for phase-cal tones at S and X. About the right level?
  • look for noise diode, check its strength
  • check that a tone can be put through the system
  • measure Y-factors at all four bands, calculate Tsys
  • Attempt to detect a bright source
